The CMF had a very humble beginning. In 1959, a group of students in Thiruvananthapuram Medical College decided to meet together to pray, to study the Bible and to support each other. Students from other Medical campuses soon followed in their steps. The first annual conference was conducted in 1961.

​

Graduate and Family conferences were conducted in later years, addressing the challenges unique to them. Regional conferences were conducted addressing the needs of individual fellowships. In addition to this CMF meets weekly to encourage and support each other.

​

Graduates all through these years have continued to love the fellowship and care for it. At the same time the Fellowship gives great importance to the new generation of students and young graduates, incorporating their ideas, addressing their challenges, encouraging their leadership – thus making the Fellowship their own.
